Hm. That should probably go into the TVTropes Wiki entry for the game, as there is some snarking about geography and support for large cities in Rhode Island...

and spoted this from a NPC in Cap
[NPC] Vagrant: Judge said the Army or the Rogue Isles. I sure chose wrong.
dose this make the Isles like Australia?
Possibly. A more contemporary reference would be John Carpenter's Escape from New York or better yet , Escape from L.A.
In the latter example, a giant earthquake aka "The Big One" separated the City of Los Angeles from mainland California, effectively rendering the city a wasteland in the process. An ultra-conservative government regime declared the city unusable for "decent Amercians" and turned it into a deportation zone for undesirables. This might be what the Rogue Isles have become, by Recluse's own choice. "Give us your thieves, your murderers, your corrupt masses."
I don't know... the idea of slaping aussie acsents on everyone is haily amusing...
Recluse: Hey there Bruce this is Bruce *points to Scorpion* Bruce *points to Mako* and Bruce *points to Sirocco*

"...and this here's Ghost Bruce!"
We now have new official Legendary terminology to use on the Statesman Task Force.
"Who do I pull first?'
"Bruce."

The quote is rofl, Eb, but.... Nogi ain't buying it.
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
